Paramedics and other emergency
medical service providers in
Gov. Susana Martinez signed into law Saturday a Senate bill
that mandates the background checks be done before the state licenses an
applicant or renews a license for paramedics or emergency medical technicians.
Supporters
of the measure say large cities already do background screenings for fire
departments and ambulance companies. They say, however, it's not enforced in
smaller communities and rural areas.
The background checks take effect July 1.
